I am using WS 4.0 and the WS Virtual hosts plugin. I am also using FireSite for replication of files. All of the domains listed above have at least some files replicated by FS - but again, from my testing and yours, I dount FS has anything to do with the problem. I did just check the settings and the settings between these domains are all the same. At one point I thought it was due to some domains having their own IP number and others not, but this is not the case as resourcecenterdallas doesn't have its own IP number. All of these domains are on the same machine. I will try to look at the VH text file to see if I can see anything strange. Some of these domains were previously on another machine. To get them on this machine I used a utility from Clearway to import the domains. This program had (for me) a minor problem in that te error.html filename was messed up. I manually corrected those entries and everything seemed fine at the time (I did not have the response problem then) > Good luck! Thanks again Chris Dale
